To some, I am sure Lycor is considered a hero. Being "good" makes you no more a hero, than being "evil" makes you a villain. Its all subjective to what side you stand.

I prefer to think of a hero as a person who's actions carry them beyond the normal stature of their kind. Who commit feats of great courage, strength, wits, and such.

A lone soldier, holding the door to a building, as undead attack, so that the citizens may escape.... a hero.

A stealthy bandit, sneaking into the royal keep, lightening the king's coffers, and escaping without so much as a single chime of alert raised? Another hero, in a sense.

It is not the beliefs that make you a hero, but the action. If Lycor wishes to consider himself a hero, then let him. He has achieved quite a bit in his time.

Lycor,

Do not think I say these words to sway you in any way. I respect that you have achieved a great deal in your time, even with your setbacks. But you are still at the other end of the game. So, I merely leave it at, "see you around, hero."

To the residents and visitors,

I may be making my way to your lands, if my duties allow. I am curious if there would be any of the following for sell. I am in need of components for cantrips and such, cantrip tomes (or ones to copy from), and possibly a rendered shield.

Also, last I was here, your Courts of Fairie seemed fairly quiet in thier connection with this area of Tyrra. Does that still remain true?

In regards to the level of activity from those from the Seelie and Unseelie Courts within the Elmrisen area and Willowdark as a whole,

While encounters with Fey creatures are not particularly common in this area, there is a trickster fey that has appeared around Elmrisen that I would not be surprised to see again. It appears as a humanoid in outrageous attire of many colors with a colored gem in its forehead that speaks in an strange voice. It prefers to play elaborate, mostly harmless, games with the townsfolk. An example of these games would be when it sent townsfolk into the woods to hunt for colored eggs in the middle of the spring this year.

In the Wayside Lodge area, another town to the north of Elmrisen where we frequently gather, there have been several bizarre and unique creatures encountered which were most likely of fey origin, although their open hostility implies unseelie origins. One was a large purple monster with a single eye and a single horn that arrived by flight, it was highly carnivorous. The other was an outlandishly lavishly dressed inhuman rogue who spoke in a particularly crass tongue. The powerful magical cane that was carried by the latter monster is now a sort of badge of office of the Sheriff of Wayside.

Sincerely,
